About NOAA Nautical Chart Locator Lighthouse
This skeletal steel tower stands 24 meters tall on a pile foundation and was established in 1915. It emits an occulting red light every 4 seconds at night and an occulting white light every 4 seconds during the day. The structure guides vessels downstream on the Delaware River. The station was established in 1915, and its front light was later moved upriver. The site is open to the public, but the tower is closed.
Why it matters: This range light is indispensable for safe passage on the Delaware River, a critical shipping artery.
